Fired up my Samsung TV All 4 app for the first time in months to find it stuck on loading.

An internet search said that this was a known problem after an update to the app and the cure was to reset the Smart Hub.

I did this hours ago and, ever since, whenever I try to access the All 4 app I get the following message:

"Smart Hub is being updated. Please try again later".

Does anyone know how to fix this? If not I'll have to have my first go at casting from my tablet.

Cheers.

Seriously, this is disappointing. After all that was said by Malone regarding his attitude to content, with the emphasis on acquiring it rather than owning it, and now we learn that it was Liberty Global's decision not to proceed with the Amazon deal.

For me, this is a very serious problem, and if there is not a reversal of this decision, it will impact on my plans to stick with VM. I really want VM to be a magnet for content, but this revelation makes me wonder where the hell they stand.

Pay-TV’s push back against streaming is building, however. Two industry sources revealed that last year Virgin Media was close to a deal to add Amazon’s streaming service to its subscription packages, before its parent company Liberty Global stepped in to pull the plug. It is understood the pan-European cable giant held fears about the long-term threat Amazon could pose to its pay-TV business.

Completely power down your tv leave for 60 seconds then switch back on, that normally fixes this issue for my Samsung tv.

Is this a real threat to such users or simply scaremongering?

Sky Atlantic will be offered to VM at a reasonable price once Game of Thrones ends next year!
